Bizarre Star Strings
The Fig Tree Committee tours An Iliad to audiences inside and outside prisons. Anna wrote an original score for this modern retelling of Homer's ancient epic written by Denis O'Hare and Lisa Peterson, and performs it with actor Paul Susi. Since 2018, they have been touring to correctional facilities while also performing for the public at schools, churches, shelters, and community centers. Learn more at figtreecommittee.org
After years of working in studios as a session musician, Anna has found her niche in this trio of string playing, backup-singing arrangers. For the better part of a decade, Kyleen, Patti, and Anna have been pushing good albums over the top with their rock n' roll sensibilities and classical chops. Hear them on records by The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, and many others.
